I just moved into a new apartment and for the most part I like it. Until I opened the cabinets under the sink....phew! It smells to high heaven...very heavy musty smell....It's not damp under there, it just stinks. There is a garbage disposal and dishwasher copper feed and rubber hose dishwasher discharge under there as well.
I asked the Property Manager and she said try running the dishwasher.......I did but the smell still remains.
So before I have their maintenance guy come in there I'd like to see if I can remedy it myself (I'd like to give it a shot at least)
I've read that using vinegar, then hydrogen peroxide and then baking soda is a good solution.....thoughts on this?
Or could it be something else like a bad vent etc? The apartment was vacant for maybe a month or so before I moved in. At first I though it was a sewage death smell but seems more like a heavy mildew stink.....I don't see mold but the copper line for the dishwasher is discolored and turning green a bit.
